Summer is Here

What a fantastic last few days we have had.

The mornings have been just glorious. The lake, which was a white, frozen landscape only a few days ago, has been replaced by a mirror. The loon(s) are back and there eerie call has woken us the past few mornings. Birds are everywhere, chipmunks and squirrels scurrying around and there are green shoots appearing on the populars.

It is a shame the water is so cold at the moment as it is so crystal clear the temptation to dive straight in is almost overwhelming.

Last night Lucy and Harriet were running around in their bare feet under the trees above Cottage 7, where only a week ago there was snow.

Been a productive few days, all the time spent raking. Slowly working my way around the place. It is now all cleaned up down the drive, around Cottage 8, the shuffleboard court and around our house. The dock was badly damaged by the winter ice, but I am waiting a few weeks for the water to warm up a bit before I enter the lake and attempt a repair!

Till next time
